How is Getvalue() Calculated?
-
Hi there,
How exactly is getvalue() calculated? I understand it is the sum of everything you have invested in market + cash?
This should then mean that getvalue() -getcash() = sum of current value of everything invested in market (stocks).
However, when I add up the value of my stocks held, it does not equal this.
See my example print out below (totalwealth = getvalue(), invested = getvalue() - cash()), my invested value says only $27,000. But when you add up my stocks held, its more like $66,000...

getvalue()definition wrong? Otherwise, any ideas why these numbers dont equate?Thank you

Not much can be really said about an isolated log. You mention that the value of your stocks is more like $66,000 but why is it so is also not shown.
You may be short on some, you may have your own commission scheme objects changing the calculation value, you may have tagged some as a future and only the margin is taken into account ...

@backtrader, given your response, I am assuming my assumption of the definition of getvalue() is correct.
Given that I am trying to determine what the value of my invested stocks is. I was hoping to use getvalue() - getcash(), which is what this log line does:
2012-12-28, Ending Wealth: 104603, Invested: 27280, Cash-On-Hand: 77323However when you add up each of the
stock held:lines; i.e.2012-12-28, Stock held: TTS, Close: 3.01, score: 0.93, Score Yest: 0.92, Posn: 2757.00, hold days 1 2012-12-28, Stock held: MTS, Close: 3.38, score: 1.00, Score Yest: 0.99, Posn: 2569.00, hold days 6 2012-12-28, Stock held: FLT, Close: 27.03, score: 0.99, Score Yest: 1.00, Posn: 302.00, hold days 27 2012-12-28, Stock held: MYR, Close: 2.01, score: 1.00, Score Yest: 1.00, Posn: 4221.00, hold days 25 2012-12-28, Stock held: CHC, Close: 3.31, score: 0.95, Score Yest: 0.92, Posn: 2522.00, hold days 1 2012-12-28, Stock held: MQA, Close: 1.68, score: 0.97, Score Yest: 0.97, Posn: 5076.00, hold days 7You get $66,000 (Close*Posn for each line). Hence my question. Why would
getvalue() - getcash()not equal the summation of stocks held?
-
That's still an isolated log. What you are printing and from where and what the actual operations are is unclear.
To start with:
Sum(Close * Posn)is nowhere near66000, which is apparently the basis of the problem.Things may be wrong in the platform and contain 1 million bugs, but any kind of statement should at least try to show why it is wrong.

Hi @backtrader, appologies for my maths error, must have been a different run... :-)
As requested, here is my full script. Please ignore references to "Score" (i have set to "1" and commented out irrelevant bits).
The issue remains though, at the end of the analysis 14 stocks are held, but the "invested" amount in this case is -$95k...!
My script, log and plot are below.
I look forward to your advise on how to fix this! I would like to use Stop-Loss / Take-Profit functionality, however I will need to sort out this negative stock investment issue for multiple stocks!
Thank you kindly,

@backtrader, heres the plot

The chart seems to indicate that you are entering short positions.
The code only prints position sizes and holding length for long operations (
position.size > 0), which makes it impossible to (using the log) prove or disprove that theory.No traces of operations are present in the log, but it seems reasonable to assume that many
selloperations are started which contribute to an increase inshortpositions.And that's the key issue:
- Each short position decreases the
value - Each short position increases the
cash
- Each short position decreases the
-
Thanks @backtrader, good feedback but I am unsure how this could be occurring? I have probably made a mistake somewhere, but my logic is based on there being no short positions whatsoever. In my next statement I only enter long positions. And my Sizer() is (hopefully) also supporting that.
Is my order dictionaries logic and SL/TP creation/cancelling logic sound? Can you please verify that for me?
In addition, the analyser log says no short positions are entered, heres the log print out following the

PS: I searched the entire log for -ve positions ("posn: -" or "posn($): -") and there are no results, which would also suggest there is no shorting?
-
The best approach would be to print the actual position of all assets without restricting it to
position.size > 0Given that the cash keeps on growing and growing it would seem like if the
shorttrades were never closed. If the assumption is right, they would never show up in the analyzer, because they are still alive.
-
my wrong suggestion
-
Thanks @backtrader, i will try debuging with negative positions. But why are they occuring??
It must be because of the stop loss and take profit. I dont have this issue when i turn that functionality off. Can you tell me how I have implemented the stop loss and take profit functionality incorrectly? Am I cancelling orders OK? Are my new market positions managing them OK?@ab_trader not sure on your comment there :-)
-
Another long shot is that the code apparently fill values with
NaNwithfillna. If the prices areNaNthat could have effect in the different calculations of indicators and in the broker.To actually try to verify, the first thing would be to go down from 200 data feeds to
1and then2.

Thanks @backtrader,
fillnapropogates the last non-NaN value forward to fill any holes (NaN values) in data that may exist. Its a common technique in investment analysis.As mentioned, the code above works fine when I set
SLTP_On=Falseand don't use stop-loss take profit functionality, so I am inclined to think I am either most likely executing this functionality wrong, or it doesnt work properly...?Can you please advise if I am implementing this functionality correct, with the dictionarys, order cancelling and creation?

The code has obviously been read above and hints offered. Sensible steps to find the problems could be
- Reduce the number of assets in play from
200to1or2. Even better if done with reference data feeds which need no manipulation. - If testing with
200tickers is wished, check for duplicate tickers - Output the position of all assets and not only that of the assets for which
position.size > 0 - Stop execution as soon as a position has gone short
- Match the executed orders to the generated orders which should show which order is the one producing the likely culprit (being the suspicion that for several assets the code is generating short positions which increase the cash level)
- Use a simple sizer or even a fixed stake to start with
The reference implementation offered in the blog post above may be used as a starting base if wished.

Thank you @backtrader, I can confirm the issue is resolved and likely was a result of my version issues.
No short positions are entered, and sum of stocks held = getvalue() - getcash() as expected!! :-)
Cheers!

@cwse all right, thanks!
